Erasmus+ Youth Exchanges
June 2022 meeting with the child welfareboard Phyhtää, Finland
|
Since 2018 we have participated in Erasmus+ youth exchanges focusing on active youth participation in their community and internationally.
In 2018, Húnaklúbburinn invited a youth group from Sweden to jouin us in Húnaþing vestra to learn about each other’s culture and connection with nature. It was marked as a “Good Practice Example.” In 2019, Húnaklúbburinn participated in the Connecting Through Nature and Culture which also was marked as a “Good Practice Example.” For this project we learned about how to design, build, and maintain a community project. |
outcomes of the Back to the Roots project
From 2021-2023 we participated in a project called, Back to the Roots. Youth from Húnaþing vestra, Iceland and Pyhtää, Finland will meet with national and international policymakers and stakeholder groups to discuss how youth living in small countryside municipalities can be more involved with community development projects that directly impact their lives.
In 2023, the youth lobbied to get a youth worker in Húnaþing vestra and in 2024 they were successful!

Midnight's Light 2024-2025
|
Verkefnið heitir „Miðnæturljós“ því við ræðum málefni sem skipta ungmenni máli og geta verið bæði létt og þung í hugsunum og tilfinningum. Gegnum leiklist, list og sjálfstjáningu læra ungmennin að tjá sig betur um það hver þau séu og hvað þau vilja verða. Verkefnið er félagslegt og einblínir á andlega vellíðan ungmenna og hvernig þau geta tjáð sig á uppbyggilegan hátt með samskiptum, sjálfstjáningu og tengingu við náttúru og samfélag.

The project is called Midnight’s Light because we are discussing topics that are important to youth that might be dark or light in thoughts and feelings. Through theater, art, and self-expression the youth learn how to better communicate about who they are and who they want to become. The project is a social project focusing on mental well-being in youth and how to express ourselves in a resilient way through communication, self-expression and through connection with nature and to community.
